Shirt is very light and has a nice cut. Material drapes well. Think I fall between sizes on this one, that said it would probably fit perfect if I was a little more in shape. For reference 5"10, 195 lb and I have a size large
Summer time in Kansas. And boy has 2026 been humid and muggy. Well these are light and the zips on the side to dump heat is awesome and it also keeps those mosquitoes and ticks out when refilling the deer feeder or putting out mineral blocks and putting out trail cameras.
I have been waiting to find a casual pair of pants that would be warm for those crisp fall days but also would work great to wear under waders. I'm not someone who wants to wear a bib under waders. I can use these for waterfowl or deer and I know it will keep me warm in the marsh or stand up. I always go with solid colors except for my outer most layers because I can use them casually.
This thing is great for keeping your waders in a good package for packing and transport. The integrated boot hook makes it great for taking the waders off and the large spread helps keep you from getting mud and stuff everywhere else while you are taking them off.
Avid duck and goose hunter here from the northeast. . the Hudson suit is an absolute game changer in the harsh winters we get here. . it could just be the difference of you lasting an hour or longer out in harsh weather compared to other brands!
This is great for early season with not insulation but great waterproofing to keep you dry. Layer underneath it and you’re good throughout the whole season!
Very impressed with the fit and the quality of material. The jacket is very comfortable and allows ample freedom of movement when mounting a rifle or drawing a bow.
Excellent Rain Jacket – Lightweight, Comfortable, and Completely Waterproof
I recently put the SITKA Stormfront Jacket through a full week of fishing in Alaska, and it quickly became one of my favorite pieces of gear. The weather changed constantly—from light drizzle to heavy rain—and this jacket kept me completely dry without ever feeling bulky or restrictive.
The 3-layer GORE-TEX construction is incredibly breathable. Even after hiking to remote fishing spots and wearing it for 10+ hours a day, I never felt clammy or overheated. It's light enough to wear all day but tough enough to handle brush, rocks, and everything else Alaska throws at you.
The hood is one of the best I've used. It adjusts easily, stays in place during windy conditions, and doesn't block your peripheral vision while casting or landing fish. The magnetic chest pocket and zippered hand pockets are well thought out, making it easy to keep essentials close without getting in the way.
What impressed me most was how versatile it is. It packs down small when the weather clears, but when the rain starts, it provides complete confidence that you'll stay dry. Pairing it with the CrossCurrent GTX Waders made for an unbeatable combination on the river.
The Stormfront isn't insulated, so you'll want to layer underneath in colder weather, but that's exactly what makes it such a versatile shell. If you're looking for a premium waterproof jacket that performs in real-world conditions, this one is absolutely worth the investment.
I recently put the SITKA CrossCurrent Zip GTX Waders through a full week of fishing in Alaska, and they exceeded every expectation. I spent long days wading rivers, hiking to different fishing spots, climbing over rocks, and dealing with cold water and changing weather. At the end of the trip, I was still completely dry and comfortable.
The front waterproof zipper is a game changer. It makes getting in and out of the waders easy and is incredibly convenient during long days on the water. The 4-layer GORE-TEX Pro construction breathes exceptionally well, so I never felt overheated during hikes, yet it kept me warm and dry when standing in cold rivers for hours. The mobility is excellent—I never felt restricted while casting, landing fish, or scrambling over uneven terrain.
One feature I really appreciated was the thoughtful pocket layout. Everything I needed was easy to access without feeling bulky, and the built-in belt system stayed secure all day. The neoprene booties were comfortable, and after multiple days of use, I never experienced leaks, pressure points, or discomfort.
The biggest takeaway is the confidence these waders give you. Instead of worrying about getting wet or tearing them up, I was able to focus on fishing. After a demanding Alaska trip, they still look nearly new.
They're definitely a premium investment, but if you spend serious time on the water, the quality, comfort, and durability make them worth every dollar. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
Love how lightweight this jacket is. I sized up to a large so that it can fit easily over my puffy without compressing the down. It works great in that application, and it’s not overly big so as to be cumbersome when I’m wearing it without the puffy.
Amazing shoe, its like a trail runner on steroids. Extremely comfortable, true to size (Gore-Tex version seems to be slightly tighter than the non Gore-Tex). Big fan, will continue to use it on backpacking trips and when im training for the season.
Just horror my 2nd pair of these. They are my go to pants for all hunting and outdoor activities. They are just a bit noisy, but not loud. I still am able to deer hunt in them. They are tough and warm and have great features. I also have the uninsulated version - the grinder pant. So in all I have 3 if you count those. I absolutely love them.
This vest is exactly what I was looking for to wear over the light weight hoodie, Keeps the wind off of your core and keeps you just warm enough on a not super cold day. Provides lots of movement for mounting your gun without extra material getting in the way. Fits well under the Hudson Jacket for a colder day and once you are sitting in the blind.
Great hoodie for cool mornings and late evenings also makes a nice outer shell in early season. Love the kangaroo pocket. Will be using this hoodie over the fanatic hoodie often.
Sikta Ranger Clogs Review
I’ve only had these for a few weeks, so this is an early take. I hope this doesn’t offend the company, but like a lot of their products, these feel way overpriced.
The Good
• Fit is solid
• They’re comfortable right out of the box
The Honest Assessment
Are they good shoes? Sure. Do they stand out against other name-brand or non-name-brand clogs? Not really—I’d put them at about the same level. Nothing special that justifies the premium price so far.
Durability Question Mark
With only a couple of weeks of wear, I can’t speak to how well they hold up long-term. For what I paid, I’m hoping they last a good while. Time will tell.
Bottom Line
Comfortable and they fit well, but the value just isn’t there for me. I still don’t understand why companies can’t release a solid product at a more reasonable price. If these hold up over the next year, I’ll update—but right now the price is the biggest issue.
I haven’t hunted in this yet but I have been wearing the guard series pieces around my property while setting cameras, hanging stands ect and I no longer need to worry about a thermacell running out of fuel or wicks or the light going out.
